Product Description
Though small and stout, the Bestech Engine has enough horsepower to keep you running through cut after cut. Measuring just 5.7 inches long, this compact flipper has a thick blade made from S35VN stainless steel, which is known for its wear resistance and edge retention Read More
I am sold on small knives after getting in on a drop for the Boker Mollusk in July of '19. A day hasn't gone by since I got it that I haven't used it for something, whether big or small, important or the epitome of trivialities.
That said, it's a chore for me to get a good hold on it. I've got big hands and a lot of adaptation has gone into that particular knife becoming a good EDC choice for me. Not necessarily the only knife I carry, but much more often than not, it's the only knife I reach for when I've got something to cut.
Now, about this knife. I love the look of it, I would much rather have the S35VN than the D2 my Boker has, it looks to be just enough bigger than the Boker to make it preferable, and call me old fashioned, but I still like the more traditional blade-shapes, and except for the swedge, this one resembles a traditional spear point, which that shape and variations of it are among my faves. But 1/4" thick blade??? Think about this: One of the most popular bush-knives, the venerable Becker BK2 Campanion, is a 1/4" thick. It's a beast that can take some incredible punishment, but it's complete overkill on a folder this size.
All that said, I gotta have one!
Really good, informative discussion going on above. A fun listing to follow even if I conclude I can't afford this baby beast at the moment.

Why no clip point option ? This is basically 30bucks cheaper than the shops and the clip point is the same price as the drop point with the same titanium options !
I'm glad 4V does so well for you, I just got a Bradford G3S in Vanadis 4E which is very similar and I just didn't know anything about the steel aside from it being a nice medium alloy tool steel.
Also if you haven't tried the Kizer Envoy, it's a standout from them and since they discontinued it they're mega cheap. Kind of an alternative to the mini Shark you have, but a little broader in profile.
OmniseedYeah I have been debating shelling out the 89.99 for one from bladehq for a bit now. Love my sealion which is a somewhat similar offering from Kizer and that's probably been the only reason I havent picked up an envoy. But hearing your recommendation, I might just have to snag one up now before they are all gone. Figured it would be a great one to get custom ano job on as well.
Kind of "burying the lede" not to show the frame lock side of the Spectrum option (or any of the anodizing/clip options) in the preview photo. Probably the most distinctive and impressive aspect of the knife.
